Story Behind The Song
After watching an aged intoxicated former movie actress, dancing to imaginary music one night. In her mind she was a sexy 20 years old which was a sharp contrast to what we saw, a 60 plus, over made-up, eccentric woman. Perhaps mad.

Lyrics
Queen of Hearts
She's got a terrible beauty,
Like that of a fallen queen
On the run from observation
And the shadow of the guillotine
But she doesn't hide all about the fall
Her eyes don't lie, they tell it all
I've heard it said, she's so insane,
She's dancing in the rain
She had her own glass slippers,
she had a handsome prince
She thought she'd dance forever,
But the music stopped when midnight hit
But she doesn't cry, she's not that strong
Doesn't wonder why it all went wrong
I've heard it said, she's so insane,
She's dancing in the rain
The Queen of Hearts has come apart
Her sand castle lost the battle with the tide
So she puts on her rusty crown
And what's left of the royal gown
And the streetlights turn to diamonds
Through the raindrops in her eyes
She's a chalk drawn sidewalk picture,
On a street of pouring rain
All the colors run together
And all the dreams are washed away
A graceful turn a pirouette,
The lessons learned she wont forget
And then she bows as if to say,
Thank you for the rain
